I found a good balance with Tiller (https://www.tillerhq.com/). It gets everything in one spreadsheet where I can query and get quick summaries with ease.

What is the DEI thing?

35, West African Immigrant (US Citizen), 12 Years of experience. Currently at Yr 4 at Fortune 500 Tech Company (Prior at Consulting). Bachelor Non-Stem. Customer Success/Implementations, Technical.

I've been applying since Feb 2024. 47 External, 5 Internal, 6 HR Screens, 6 Phone Interviews, 6 (3+ Rounds) and 6 Rejections.

No AI just careful tweaks for each submission so its time intensive but I feel like its tough for everyone.
